Wang Zhong and Lu Liangzhi had already decided to abandon the Great Buddha Ridge, so they no longer hesitated, and ordered all the troops to immediately throw down all the rolling logs and stones, not to kill or injure the enemy, but to create obstacles for the Qing army, and at the same time sent a herald to Mou Wenshou stationed in Panlong Mountain, who immediately set fire to the mountain.

Countless rolling logs and stones rolled down from the Tianfo Ridge, broke through the wall of fire ignited by the Qing army, and rolled down to the official road in front of the village.

Many Han military banners that were desperately carrying the obstacles blocked by Shicai on the official road were suddenly attacked, killing and wounding nearly 100 people, and the rest scattered in fright and retreated frantically.

The banners of the Han army that were hit by the rolling logs and rocks were fine when they died, and those that were not dead were soon drowned by the rolling logs and stones that followed.

The screams of the wounded soldiers before they died were as terrifying as the screams of night owls.

At this moment, all the Qing troops fell into panic, because the official road was blocked by rolling logs and stones.

"Climb over, or walk the mountains on either side, and attack their walled city!"

It is already unrealistic to clear these obstacles, because there is simply no place to throw away these rolling logs and rocks.

Yue Tuo reluctantly issued a military order, the sky has gradually darkened, and he can only capture the Ming army's walled city to rest temporarily, after all, it is the beginning of February, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the army is marching late at night, no one knows what tricks this hateful thief will play.

"Abandon some of the horses, and only carry dry rations, for the general to attack."

Huashan is a road, advance is life, retreat is death.

As the rolling logs and stones rolling down from the mountain became fewer and fewer, and there were fewer and fewer of them, the Eight Banners rushed to the official road in front of them that was four or five feet high in the firelight.

"Raise the flag, let Zhang Erniu set fire to the village, let's withdraw the army, Tang Shao, you bring a long-range soldier of the infantry team to monitor them, if they camp on the spot, take turns to harass them, if they take advantage of the night to march, give Lao Tzu a cold shot, get them a few times, be sure to make these dog Tartars not peaceful."

After pushing down all the rolling logs and stones, Wang Zhong gave the order to withdraw his troops.

After all, the fire of the mountain is constantly rising, although he has mud walls and trenches as cover, he is not afraid of being attacked by the Qing army, but no one can resist the choking smoke, if the Qing army takes the opportunity to attack the mountain by fire, Wang Zhong does not think that he can stop the brave and good fighting Eight Banners Army.

When the fire broke out on the mountains on both sides, Zhang Erniu, who was guarding the village, also noticed that something was wrong, but he was hindered by his duties, and the official road was blocked by the Qing army, and he did not dare to act without receiving an order.

Now that Wang Zhong's order came, Zhang Erniu was like being amnestied, after all, he didn't have the courage to face those fierce Manchurian soldiers.

The Manchurian soldiers, who had abandoned their horses, were equally fierce, he climbed up the official road blocked by rolling logs and stones, and then pounced on the Jingbei army with the sword and spear in his hand with a deep and shallow foot.

The Han army banner and the Mongol soldiers split into two groups and climbed towards the mountains on both sides, trying to bypass the blocked official road and attack the walled city of the Jingbei army.

"Ignition! Hurry up and ignite the fire, there is no gunpowder, and the wall of the wall will be blown up by Lao Tzu! Fast......! ”

Yue Tuo, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, has lost his former prestige, and he will march on the burnt black mountain road in disgrace.

This road is actually not a road, but the footprints left by the advance of the Han army flag, but Yue Tuo had to walk, so many warriors died, the side of the thief was not touched, if he did not get out of this vast mountain as soon as possible, Yue Tuo even felt that he would follow in the footsteps of those Han army flags and Mongolian army flags that died in battle.

However, something happened to Yue Tuo's despair, and the Ming army's walled city also ignited a raging fire, and even burst out with violent explosions, and sections of walled walls continued to collapse in the explosions.

Through the firelight, Yue Tuo at the foot of the mountain could even see the figure of the thief lighting the fire in the walled city.

"This? What is the thief trying to do? ”

Yue Tuo was furious, the sun was about to set, this walled city was burned, what should he do with his thousands of troops at night?

Tanaka said in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang, the thieves are clear of the wall, according to the minions, they are using the fire to intercept our army, and then continue to deploy defenses in the back. ”

"You mean that the thief still has a back hand behind the Big Buddha Ridge?"

Yue Tuo's face was cloudy, he didn't dare to imagine it at this moment, it was obviously unrealistic to rest all night on the official road, if the thieves launched a sneak attack, these thousands of troops would collapse in the dark night, and even roar.

"Lord, according to the view of the slaves, this place is still more than 20 miles away from Pingdu, it is better to rush out of the official road at night, after all, it also takes time for the thieves to deploy defenses, as long as we spare our lives, we will definitely be able to get out of this group of mountains in one fell swoop."

At this time, Ao Bei did not lose confidence, in his opinion, as long as he rushed to the plain, even if there was no war horse, there would be no thief who would dare to pick up the tiger whiskers of the Eight Banners Army.

Yue Tuo bowed his head and said: "Well, what Ao Bei said is reasonable, inform Tong Guoen and Jin Li to put out the fire as soon as possible, and then send a guard to the mountains on both sides, and if you don't get out of this group of mountains, this king will always rest assured." ”

It is obviously impossible to extinguish the fire, after all, the fire and water are ruthless, in the face of the burning Ming army Dazhai, Tong Tulai had to order someone to clean up the burned ruins first, and then extinguish the burnt fire in front of him.

It was not until three o'clock in the unitary hour that the fire in Dazhai of the Jingbei Army slowly weakened.

The impatient Yue Tuo gave the order to march on the spot.

To tell the truth, the Eight Banners Army in this era is indeed strict in command, and today's encounter, if it were put on the Ming Army, it would have collapsed long ago, although the morale was low, but the Eight Banners still faithfully carried out Yue Tuo's orders.

It's just that because of crossing the official road, those bulky artillery cannons are impossible to carry.

The Qing army folded six or seven hundred military horses in Laizhou, and today it has lost more than 1,200 people in Dafoling, plus more than 200 people lost by Alan Chai in the Jiaolai River, and the Yuetuo Department is already less than 7,000 soldiers, but they are still advancing in an orderly manner with torches, and in the night, they are like a fire dragon.

This time, the Qing army marched with guard posts on the mountains on both sides, so Tang Shao, who was ambushed in Dafoling, could not find a chance to sneak attack at all, so he had to follow the Qing army brigade with a foot team from his headquarters.

"Speed up, brothers, hurry up, we will be safe in Pingdu, maybe we can find a woman from Mingguo to relieve everyone's fatigue."

Tong Tulai, Tanaka and other Manchu and Han generals urged the army to move forward, while desperately boosting morale.

After a whole day of tossing, although the Qing army was brave and tired, they would advance one by one, because they knew that the way of life was ahead.

The clinker army had just turned a hill, but the mountains in front of the Qing army were covered with firelight, and from a distance they looked straight like a volcano, while the official road in front of them was full of sharp piles, and there were one after another trenches about a foot wide.

There was even a walled city at the end of the official road, and the sparkling firelight showed that the Ming army was ready for battle.
